Notes
Always remember to add a tablespoon of spirit, vodka or vinegar to the dough, which will prevent the dough from absorbing fats.
Add a bit of oil to the lard.
It's also worth knocking off excess flour from the faworki before frying because the flour will burn in the fat, which must be replaced quickly.
